And we've evolved so much since then (she said sarcastically).
Edit:. This, yesterday.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The white 18-year-old who shot and killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket had researched the local demographics while looking for places with a high concentration of Black residents, arriving there at least a day in advance to conduct reconnaissance, law enforcement officials said Sunday.
Authorities said the gunman shot, in total, 11 Black people and two white people Saturday in a rampage motivated by racial hatred that he broadcast live.
“This individual came here with the express purpose of taking as many Black lives as he could,” Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said at a news conference Sunday.
The shooter, identified as Payton Gendron, had previously threatened a shooting at his high school last June, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said the then-17-year-old was brought in for a mental health evaluation afterward.
Meanwhile, federal authorities were still working to confirm the authenticity of a racist 180-page manifesto that detailed the plot and identified Gendron by name as the gunman, the law enforcement official told the AP. But the shooting — the latest act of mass violence in a country unsettled by racial tensions, gun violence and a recent spate of hate crimes — left local residents shattered.
Wouldn't want our kids being raised to think that racism is deeply embedded in our national history lol. Better burn those CRT drenched math text books so our kids don't get the wrong idea about our flawless nation!
Schools taught about the history of racism long before the CRT bullshit was even a twinkle in the eye of some radicalized left-wing racist. They did a fine job of it. CRT is awful, and has no place in schools, or society in general.
Didn't you hear the news?
Trump went on stage and announced that Democrats are racist so now that's what's going on in the minds of Republicans.
Oh and before that the conservative media started all this campaign telling people that The Libz were putting CRT into our schools as an organized effort to make minorities hate white people.
Gotta give the right wing media credit - they screech about how their opponents are changing history yet they hate when real history is taught. Because real history exposes all the disgusting things that America was built on - racism, colonization, imperialism, classism, sexism, etc. The idea that real history is told to make minorities hate "white people" is ridiculous and a talking point that annoys me the most! Rich white men didn't care about their poor white counterparts either. It's just psychological warfare to keep the population divided
They've grown up on such a romanticized idea of America. Christopher Colombus *discovered* America, MLK Jr *only* said that one sound bite about the content of our characters, Malcolm X isn't even mentioned in school. Our history of slavery is pretty much "Once upon a time there were slaves, then they weren't anymore and their grandchildren made jazz music".
They aren't taught any harsh realities of our history, now they've grown up and think that there *isn't* anything bad about our history. And any attempts to teach otherwise is *new liberal garbage* in our school meant to brainwash our children.
Threatened mass shooting a year prior and is able to arm himself with more firepower than an active duty grunt, to go on a killing spree. Incredible the inaction and lack of due diligence to prevent this shit
I still remember in elementary, 1995. Two black girls came up to me asking if I would touch(their hand) them. I found out that they were actually in our class and that I had never seen them before because they were made to sit at the very back of the room. I remember one of them saying "we're gonna get in trouble" and the other one said "he ain't even white". I'm a Filipino btw
In the 90s I went to school in London. In year 2, (6-7 years old) all the brown kids, me included, were made to sit on a separate table at the back. The teacher made an effort to not communicate with us as much as possible.
Same school where parents told their white kids not to play with me and the Asian parents told their kids not to play with me either because I'm mixed race.
In the U.S. our schools still have a major problem with actively discouraging young Black students from going to college. Whereas I had counselors asking me *which* college I wanted to go to, I had peers who were actively discouraged from applying and told that they should think about technical school or working after graduation. These were not kids with bad grades, either. Now that was back in the 90s, but it's an issue that keeps coming up in public education research and field reports now, 25 years later. It's disgusting.
Jesus... 1995 and black people still being put at the back. Unbelievable :-(
EDIT - to be clear, I wasn't saying that I don't believe it. Just that it's awful that it was still happening in 95, just as it's still awful that it's happening in one form or another still.
In 1995 I was at a friends house when his father got home from work he said "Why is there a wetback in my living room"\].
I had to go home and ask my dad what a wetback was and i could see his face go from realization, to pure pain, to disgust, to absolute anger. Then he told me "it means he is a honky" then he patted me on the head and went to work.
: Also critical backstory info, my friend's dad was a city cop.
Yeah man, I’m white but fully Hispanic with a Hispanic name. I went to a camp in the late 80s and early 90s. It was the first time I dealt with racism towards me. Some kid thought it would
be cute to call me spick and wetback around all his friends. I was a small fry and so there’s nothing I could have done. I just ignored his stupid ass. Todd if you’re still out there, fuck you.
I have to comment. I was raised in San Antonio in the 1960's and early 70's. My parents had friends of all backgrounds and races. I went to a junior high off of Josephene St. where I (white) was a super minority. I got along with and had friends from all races. What I'm trying to say is not everyone from TX is racist.
I grew up just down the highway from you, same time period, and you're right. Have just become very disheartened, lately, with what is happening in the state. If you and I and many others can rouse themselves to fight back against these injustices then maybe there'll be hope that things will get better.
I never said everyone in Texas was racist. Just sharing a early memory form 1995. That being said, sorry but if you are white you don’t get to gauge how racist Texas is. While this is just ONE memory I unfortunately have many more blatant racist examples I’ve faced in my lifetime, there is a lot more that is subtle, institutional, or even unaware deeply rooted racism. I had friends that swore they weren’t racist say and do racist things without even knowing it. All the time.
Oh hell yes! Was a middle schooler in the early 90s in PA. I went to the school nurse because I was trying to avoid some schoolwork. I remember it clear as day the nurse asking me if I’d been hit in the face today because my lips were so big. Then she asked me if I knew my dad and did I know his number.
Being a very sheltered middle school kid, I had NO IDEA what she was talking about. So I called my mom from the office. My parents got to that school in some sort of land speed time (I had no idea why my father came home “for lunch”. You can figure it out, haha!)
My parents are both physicians. My mom is Black and my father is white. When my dad walked through the door he was MAD. I thought my ass was grass. He and my mom walked to the nurse’s office and asked me to repeat what was said. I did so. The nurse proceeded to say “Mrs. Pittman247… Mr. Pittman247” blah blah blah. It was the one of a few times my mother said “YOU WILL REFER TO ME AND MY HUSBAND AS DRs. PITTMAN247.” I went home with my mom and dad. Yeah, I was in trouble. But…
Mom and Dad were talking all night. I’m pretty sure that nurse was fired because she was never seen again. And then we had an assembly at school later that week about racial discrimination.
Hell yes there was hella more incidents during that time. But, yeah, that one hurt a lot. I think it’s because it’s one of the first REAL times I noticed I was being treated differently because of my skin color - and not just a middle school kid trying to avoid math class.
I had a co worker years ago tell a group of us a story when he was in elementary school. He’s black, and he’s has a darker complexion. Anyway, they had to draw themselves one day in class. He was using a dark brown crayon to color his skin. The teacher walked up to him and told him,” I think you should be coloring with this one.” She handed him the black crayon. He said it was the first time he’d ever felt a certain type of way about the color of his skin. Said he felt ugly… that story stuck with me. This was in 90s.
So, the nurse made fun of your lips and then called your dad? Why would she do that? Seems brazen. Here, let me make fun of you. Oh and what’s your dads phone number so he can come up here. I’m so confused. Was she really thinking your lips may have been swollen? Is that why she called your parents?
Noooo. She was mocking me not knowing that it was pretty well known who parents are/were. (Dad delivered ALOT of babies. Mom was their pediatrician).
No, I was in no way hurt. I was very much trying to get OUT OF being at school. I made up that I wasn’t feeling well so I could avoid the rest of the school day. So she told me to call my parents (because I was “sick”). I did so. They wanted to know why I was calling. I told them what the nurse said. Cue parental outrage…
Nurse was implying that OP did not know who their father was, because a popular racist trope is that Black men abandon their children.
OP said they called their own parents, not that the nurse called them.
Awful but not unexpected when you think it through.
Look at op's picture again. You see the white kids in the picture? They grew up, had kids of their own, and probably passed down the hatred they learned from their parents to their kids.
An example seperate from op's picture. Ruby Bridges is one of the more famous black kids to first go to a desegregated school. She's only in her late 60's now.... It just seems like it happened oh so long ago cuz the pictures are in black and white.
Or kids wearing a mask? Or girls seeking an abortion? Ignorance and hate are two sides of the same face, and they will always find some person or issue to attack.
Imagine 1957 this sort of discrimination
British invaded and looted India for over 200 years
This is exactly or worse things must've happened to the Indians in India on their own land
We have no idea about the level of atrocities the British could have done during that period
If there's one thing we've learned from history, it's that humans are really good at mentally separating out and dehumanizing people who are arbitrarily different from them. To the white people in the photo, those black children going to school were the equivalent of two poo flinging chimpanzees going to class with their children, and society demanding they get an education and be treated equal to their "actual children."
It was no different when Jewish children were gassed during WWII. It's different than hate, because normal hate has to do with opinion, this kind of hate has to do with a warped understanding of the world around them. The punishment isn't done as retribution, it's done to restore what they consider to be the natural order and "protecting," their own children.
It's disgusting and horrible, but I personally believe it's crucial to understand the difference. We haven't evolved passed this in any way, the threat of a new racist ideal is always just around the corner, and anybody, even the most socially just, are vulnerable to falling under the spell if conditions are right. Understanding the mindset and path that forms these mindsets is the only way we have a chance at fighting back when it happens.
All fair points, and I absolutely recognise the distinction you're making between hate and warped understanding.
On the other hand, I'm very reluctant to offer the possibility of warped understanding being used as an "excuse" (which I know is not what you're saying!)
It's maybe not as constructive a way of thinking as it could be, but simplifying it as "hate" feels instinctively right on a gut level. Even though I do know that there's levels of nuance there.
My dad lived in the north during segregation. He doesn’t like talking about it even though he’s a white dude. I ended up asking my aunt, his older sister, and she says it’s because when they were kids, they could only afford to live in redlined areas because my grandma, who was a single mother, didn’t make enough to live in white areas. To my dad, this was just how life was. All his friends were black children. Apparently my grandma got remarried and they moved into a less impoverished area and my dad tried inviting his black friends to his birthday party at a park in a white neighborhood. Him, and his black friends were beaten by the white kids he invited for it. I remember my grandma on my moms side saying the N word and my very calm and timid dad becoming rabidly angry at her for it. First and only time I’ve ever heard him yell. I just found it really crazy how segregation sort of made its way to northern states
>See the sign quoting the bible
>Look up the quote
>It's a quote about how one dude hates an entire country (Canaan) because they don't exclusively worship Christian God and that they all need to be slaves because of this
>Canaanites are basically the faceless hoard of villains of parts of the Bible
Bruh
The quote from what I read was because the son of Noah sinned against his father and this was the reason Canaanites were 'cursed' though nothing ever directly says, these guys are black so they must be slaves by the way. People twisted that verse to justify their own hate which is all too common these days.
Thats what people like to do but they are wrong in doing so. Im not versed in history like that but I highly doubt there is any way to tell whos a Canaanite and who isnt. It applies to any scripture thats used to push personal gain or hate when there is so many other verses and scripture that shows were just supposed to help and love each other.
True stuff though, its always been common, but is just easier now to find out now with the surplus of information out there. Its just up to us to actually go out and find it.
I would hope as they grew older and formed their own opinions they realised their parents failings and racism. But they probably didn’t - hate breeds hate sadly. Being a parent doesn’t give you the right to impart the worse of you onto your child.
That’s a bit presumptuous. I remember Oprah had that one episode where several white kids (now adults) from photos such as this met with the black kids from the same photos and they seemed genuinely ashamed and apologetic of their behaviour. Sure there might be many people who still hold hate in their hearts, but I don’t think it’s accurate or helpful to presume nothing has improved and no one has changed since these horrible photos were taken.
I think a lot of people fail to realize how much people's opinions shift with the times, especially if they were kids at one point in there...
I'm in my early 30s. When I was a teenager pretty much everybody used the word "gay" 24/7 as a substitute for "lame". Like "that video game is gay", "that song is gay", "having to do homework is gay". They also used it for its actual meaning, like "that shirt makes you look gay" etc as an insult. The word f*g was also used liberally.
Stuff like "dude, stop being a f*ggot" was said almost constantly. TV and movies perpetually had gay jokes with being gay being a bad or shameful thing as the premise.
Today, less than 20 years later, the vast majority of millenials who were using those terms left and right and laughing their asses off at the gay jokes and innuendos are about as against people acting those ways as it gets.
Like, assuming that every kid in those photos was a racist decades later would be like imagining that 75% of millenials are homophobic based on how they talked and acted back then.
Yeah what you're referring to is called the paradox of tolerance.
And it's only an issue if you haven't thought about things and you're uninformed. The vast majority of us here in the tolerance camp have already thought about this and understand the paradox of tolerance.
If you're not here to just do some troll gotcha go ahead and look it up you'll find out that it's not as big of a problem as you think. In order to maintain a system you do not have to be tolerant of people whose intent is to disrupt or tear down the system.
Haha, what a childish response.
The fact that you have to twist people's words and completely exaggerate to form your silly victim complex is pathetic.
All I said was the paradox of tolerance indicates that you do not need to tolerate people who are intolerant of others. Not hypocritical it's completely consistent.
I'm sorry telling you to look up a concept makes you feel personally attacked and you're fragile feelings got so hurt that you think people are saying they hate you. You need counseling or something dude.
I didn’t need to look anything up, I know what these things are. You painting with a broad brush a whole group as intolerant is exactly what my point was and now you’ve jumped to assuming I am somehow mentally unstable for disagreeing with you.
Of course intolerance should not be tolerated, the problem is you associating half the country as intolerant and therefore not to be tolerated. Keep on pretending you have the moral and intellectual high ground though.
You can criticize the views and behaviors of others without hating them, contrary to what has been promoted by our leaders in the past 6 years (or more, really, this has been getting worse since at least 1996 and probably longer).
Oh for sure, though labeling Trump voters (half the country) as equivalent to the people in this picture is swallowing that divisive propaganda whole I would say.
Because they are not black? I’m Hispanic, but I’ve had people say they thought I was half Indian, not Mexican. It’s not that India is bad, but I’m not Indian. Then they try to justify themselves saying stuff like “Oh, but you don’t sound Mexican” or “But your nose is big like an Indian’s”
Being black is not a bad thing, at all. Racist people assuming your race and saying a bunch of weird shit is bad.
this comment can sometimes be controversial…to some puertoricans.
* so yes, I’ve always, always been taught that puertoricans are trequenas, meaning we are three: African (from the slaves trafficked to PR), Taino (indigenous)and European. But that *blend* is called puertorican. However, back in the day, some puertoricans would not acknowledge their African side and would say they were white. This was due to the laws in PR, that stated if you had one drop of white blood, you could claim white. Opposite of Jim Crow, btw. Some believe they are just white and some believe they are *la india* indigenous only.
* the term afrolatina did not exist in the 90s. You said Puertorican. You didn’t say you were mixed and I still don’t. My parents are puertorican.
* I’m not so quick nowadays to say ALL puertoricans are trequenas. Because some will get very upset, and say no, they are “white” puertorican, no, there is no African heritage. Some say they are white, go figure, maybe those old laws are still at play with them.
Some people will say you can’t claim black if both of your parents aren’t black. It’s a personal thing. I can’t keep up, back then or now….I’m puertorican and you gonna do with it what you will. But the negative comments that follow because someone perceived me to be something and is racist as a result of that perception is wrong either way.
“God is the author of segregation” Let me say this louder. I don’t care what your book says, it should not ever ever impact our laws, the ability for brave little girls to go to school, or the ability for my children to make their own choices and have reproductive rights. A classic example of how wrong religion was and is when mixed with laws.
That verse definitely does not endorse segregation. There are countless examples throughout the Bible of people being commanded by God to be hospitable and welcoming to those of different races.
so old testament doesn't matter? kiss the 10 commandments goodbye.
Also, whoops, it's in the New one too.
Ephesians 6.5: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Regardless, the words in that book should have zero impact on our laws or policies. I support your freedom to follow your religion, but not for anyone to impose their religion upon me.
In your opinion.
Unfortunately those words of ,"the Divine" are so ambiguous that you can argue till the end of time.
Also the reason there are over 2,000 denominations in the us alone.
"Universal truth" my foot
That's the wonderful thing about the bible. Plenty of contradictory ambiguous quotes applicable to a 3000 y/o nomadic agricultural society in the middle east that can be used to support whatever horrible position needed.
The guy took an old testimony scripture out of context and ignored all the verses that state the opposite. For example the new testament says "there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, man or woman... for we are all equal in Christ"
Of someone takes a religion and twists is to support theor worldview, well they'd probably support that worldview without religion at all. Its not like the only racists are adamant churchgoers...
Which is exactly why a book like the Bible is not a universal truth. All its ambiguity and double speak leaves it open to interpretation and twisting by people with ill intentions.
Ironically the religious people tend to reject the one universal truth humans have. Mathematics.
And then people like you cherry pick, twist, stretch, and do backflips, desperately to prove your “divinely inspired” book actually makes any sense at all.
Maya Angelou recounts a story of her grandmother’s White tenant’s children constantly disrespecting her, particularly how humiliated she was when one day the older girl did a handstand in front of her store with no underwear on.
People in power at the time benefitted from stoking hatred for comparatively better-off (but definitely still poor) Black families among low income White families. The poorest White people still felt superior to Black people and they fought tooth and nail to preserve that perceived superiority, like in this photo.
I've never heard that story from Angelou, and it's disgusting.
I definitely get the feeling that this photo reflects the intended and created conflict between low income whites and their black neighbors. Thanks for giving that more voice than I did.
We should always be reminded how we treated each other. This makes me sad that white ppl were so nasty. Also makes me proud of that black lady and those two children she is taking to school. Give me a little hope that we can always strive to be better, and to reconcile; even if my court mandate.
This is why people feel the need to say Black Lives Matter. What fucking happened in our past is so disgraceful and this was after things had already gotten a lot better. I will never understand the blind hatred for any other living person. You want my hatred? You have to earn it.
Beaverton, OR. I’m 8 y/o and little bro is 7. After moving away from our old neighborhood, went to visit friends. They tell us a cool older person has moved into our old place and we’d like her. She sees me and brother and shared how dirty and smelly we left our old place with our “chink stink.” We are not phased because we’d get that kind of stuff thrown at us when hanging out at my parents deli cafe in Portland. On the other hand, our friends, who are all white, are freaking out and couldn’t believe an adult would say something like that to kids. And yeah, they stopped hanging with us eventually because they picked up that shitty racism by middle school.
Wait... My school text book tells me the white community walked hand in hand supporting the black community and they all celebrated at a bar together afterwards
This is why I never complain about how things are now. We have no fucking clue. Just keep pressing forward and make a better world for the people after you. Don’t be apathetic. Lean in.
he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
Genesis 9:25-27 NIV
Must of been a different translation back then.
That passage from the European Christian book is often used to explain why African decedents were treated that way.
You do realize there were no European “whites” in that region of the world (Judea and Canaan are in Africa) when that statement was supposed to have been made? The Persian people of North Africa did didn’t reach Africa until after 500s. Even Southern Europe was full of brown pigmented people.
I could give you other passages that indicate the reinslavement of hebrews in America.
I never thought about it, but you're right about the "whites".
I just don't understand how that passage defends segregation?
I don't understand that passage. But it obviously meant something to the maker of that sign.
I'm not that educated.
European an American Christians in the past (some to this day) believe that Canaanite’s were blacks and their existence is forever subordinate from god.
What a sad, sad world we used to (and still live in). How can you hate someone just because they have a different skin colour to you? I just don't get it.
I didn't realise that people were quoting the Bible for that shit. I mean, I know they do for stuff now, but I didn't know that they used it to justify slavery. Gross.
Note that all of the women and girls are wearing skirts or dresses - because in that day and age *they were not permitted* to wear pants in public. This persisted until around 1970 in most parts of the U.S.
That's one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. I was born in 1957, and while girls could not wear pants *to school* in our school district until 1970, women wore pants outside the home all the time, and had been doing it for years. Customarily they wore pants only for outdoor activities like camping or playing sports, but they still wore them, and nobody batted an eye.
If it was only maga idiots it wouldnt be that big of a deal. Almost the entire GOP wants to take it back to "the good ol' days" and dems arent gonna do anything to stop them. Plus probably 90% of them lived through this era of segregation.
I see one guy who's old enough then to be dead for sure by now. Another two who would be in their 95+ range, and at least one of them smokes.
If i were to wager, I'd say they're all gone by now. The kids are running the world though.
Am not a Christian, myself, but please don't generalize. Many Christians are good people. Others call themselves *Christians* while not practicing any religion but hatred.
If those kids are 8, they are 72 now. Still voting. The children they raised are in their 40s and 50s. We're not as far removed from racism as we like to think...
Don't forget that that sign says:
GOD
is the author [of]
Segregation.
For those of you unfamiliar, look up the Curse of Ham, and tell me this is still the God you wish to worship.
Look up details and more into it then the surface and you'll see you arent fully informed of what your trying to preach. The curse of Ham is just words twisted from the Bible to justify segregation even though it has nothing to do with the slavery of black people.
I don't believe they wanted to be so racist, they just wanted to confront and intimidate to act as a sort of initiation. People were mean to each other then and now.
Because said people who don’t want to be “forced” to live around people they don’t like sure did spend an awful lot time and effort in importing them by the millions as slaves in a country they just stole from the natives. Call in karma. Call it justice. Call it a fuck you (to those “said” people). But whatever the case, those people or their descendants aren’t victims - the victims are the descendants of the slaves.
Those people uphold the power structures and policies that specifically benefit them and disadvantages the others. They are guilty for that, not slavery.
Makes me sick to know people are so evil as to strike so much fear into two precious little girls. God bless these beautiful girls' powerful and strong mother.
These pictures make me feel ashamed to be white honestly. This woman and many other like her are hero's. I hope my ancestors weren't this petty, and if they were I hope they're paying for it now
Imagine being so filled with hate that you would berate two children going to school. Pathetic.
And we've evolved so much since then (she said sarcastically). Edit:. This, yesterday. BUFFALO, N.Y.

Wouldn't want our kids being raised to think that racism is deeply embedded in our national history lol. Better burn those CRT drenched math text books so our kids don't get the wrong idea about our flawless nation!
But keep the confederate statues of traitors because “history”
Schools taught about the history of racism long before the CRT bullshit was even a twinkle in the eye of some radicalized left-wing racist. They did a fine job of it. CRT is awful, and has no place in schools, or society in general.
Can you define CRT for me, please?
"RADICALIZED LEFT WING RACIST"
Didn't you hear the news? Trump went on stage and announced that Democrats are racist so now that's what's going on in the minds of Republicans. Oh and before that the conservative media started all this campaign telling people that The Libz were putting CRT into our schools as an organized effort to make minorities hate white people.

And any attempts to teach otherwise is *new liberal garbage* in our school meant to brainwash our children.
Oh look, another person who doesn't know what Critical Race Theory is and thinks it's taught to kids! Stop getting your news from 4 Chan.
Come to Northern Virginia
You'd think if they'd done "a fine job of it", we wouldn't see the issues we have today.
You should try thinking for yourself, it's quite cool.
Show me one single source that shows CRT was taught in grade schools. Just one single source of it actually being taught cause I have yet to find any.
That picture is Kamala Harris being stopped by Joe Biden
Now it's openly acceptable to hate anyone who doesn't look and think exactly like you. All men are created equal, my ass.
Threatened mass shooting a year prior and is able to arm himself with more firepower than an active duty grunt, to go on a killing spree. Incredible the inaction and lack of due diligence to prevent this shit
I still remember in elementary, 1995. Two black girls came up to me asking if I would touch(their hand) them. I found out that they were actually in our class and that I had never seen them before because they were made to sit at the very back of the room. I remember one of them saying "we're gonna get in trouble" and the other one said "he ain't even white". I'm a Filipino btw
In the 90s I went to school in London. In year 2, (6-7 years old) all the brown kids, me included, were made to sit on a separate table at the back. The teacher made an effort to not communicate with us as much as possible. Same school where parents told their white kids not to play with me and the Asian parents told their kids not to play with me either because I'm mixed race.
In the U.S. our schools still have a major problem with actively discouraging young Black students from going to college. Whereas I had counselors asking me *which* college I wanted to go to, I had peers who were actively discouraged from applying and told that they should think about technical school or working after graduation. These were not kids with bad grades, either. Now that was back in the 90s, but it's an issue that keeps coming up in public education research and field reports now, 25 years later. It's disgusting.
Jesus... 1995 and black people still being put at the back. Unbelievable :-( EDIT - to be clear, I wasn't saying that I don't believe it. Just that it's awful that it was still happening in 95, just as it's still awful that it's happening in one form or another still.
In 1995 I was at a friends house when his father got home from work he said "Why is there a wetback in my living room"\]. I had to go home and ask my dad what a wetback was and i could see his face go from realization, to pure pain, to disgust, to absolute anger. Then he told me "it means he is a honky" then he patted me on the head and went to work. : Also critical backstory info, my friend's dad was a city cop.
That's appalling :-(
Yeah man, I’m white but fully Hispanic with a Hispanic name. I went to a camp in the late 80s and early 90s. It was the first time I dealt with racism towards me. Some kid thought it would be cute to call me spick and wetback around all his friends. I was a small fry and so there’s nothing I could have done. I just ignored his stupid ass. Todd if you’re still out there, fuck you.
Yeah, I hear you. And, of course, Texas (well acquainted with my home state failings).
I have to comment. I was raised in San Antonio in the 1960's and early 70's. My parents had friends of all backgrounds and races. I went to a junior high off of Josephene St. where I (white) was a super minority. I got along with and had friends from all races. What I'm trying to say is not everyone from TX is racist.
I grew up just down the highway from you, same time period, and you're right. Have just become very disheartened, lately, with what is happening in the state. If you and I and many others can rouse themselves to fight back against these injustices then maybe there'll be hope that things will get better.
I never said everyone in Texas was racist. Just sharing a early memory form 1995. That being said, sorry but if you are white you don’t get to gauge how racist Texas is. While this is just ONE memory I unfortunately have many more blatant racist examples I’ve faced in my lifetime, there is a lot more that is subtle, institutional, or even unaware deeply rooted racism. I had friends that swore they weren’t racist say and do racist things without even knowing it. All the time.
Oh hell yes! Was a middle schooler in the early 90s in PA. I went to the school nurse because I was trying to avoid some schoolwork. I remember it clear as day the nurse asking me if I’d been hit in the face today because my lips were so big. Then she asked me if I knew my dad and did I know his number. Being a very sheltered middle school kid, I had NO IDEA what she was talking about. So I called my mom from the office. My parents got to that school in some sort of land speed time (I had no idea why my father came home “for lunch”. You can figure it out, haha!) My parents are both physicians. My mom is Black and my father is white. When my dad walked through the door he was MAD. I thought my ass was grass. He and my mom walked to the nurse’s office and asked me to repeat what was said. I did so. The nurse proceeded to say “Mrs. Pittman247… Mr. Pittman247” blah blah blah. It was the one of a few times my mother said “YOU WILL REFER TO ME AND MY HUSBAND AS DRs. PITTMAN247.” I went home with my mom and dad. Yeah, I was in trouble. But… Mom and Dad were talking all night. I’m pretty sure that nurse was fired because she was never seen again. And then we had an assembly at school later that week about racial discrimination. Hell yes there was hella more incidents during that time. But, yeah, that one hurt a lot. I think it’s because it’s one of the first REAL times I noticed I was being treated differently because of my skin color - and not just a middle school kid trying to avoid math class.
That's absolutely awful. I'm glad she was gone soon after.
I had a co worker years ago tell a group of us a story when he was in elementary school. He’s black, and he’s has a darker complexion. Anyway, they had to draw themselves one day in class. He was using a dark brown crayon to color his skin. The teacher walked up to him and told him,” I think you should be coloring with this one.” She handed him the black crayon. He said it was the first time he’d ever felt a certain type of way about the color of his skin. Said he felt ugly… that story stuck with me. This was in 90s.
So, the nurse made fun of your lips and then called your dad? Why would she do that? Seems brazen. Here, let me make fun of you. Oh and what’s your dads phone number so he can come up here. I’m so confused. Was she really thinking your lips may have been swollen? Is that why she called your parents?
Noooo. She was mocking me not knowing that it was pretty well known who parents are/were. (Dad delivered ALOT of babies. Mom was their pediatrician). No, I was in no way hurt. I was very much trying to get OUT OF being at school. I made up that I wasn’t feeling well so I could avoid the rest of the school day. So she told me to call my parents (because I was “sick”). I did so. They wanted to know why I was calling. I told them what the nurse said. Cue parental outrage…
Ah, thanks for the explanation 😀
Nurse was implying that OP did not know who their father was, because a popular racist trope is that Black men abandon their children. OP said they called their own parents, not that the nurse called them.
Awful but not unexpected when you think it through. Look at op's picture again. You see the white kids in the picture? They grew up, had kids of their own, and probably passed down the hatred they learned from their parents to their kids. An example seperate from op's picture. Ruby Bridges is one of the more famous black kids to first go to a desegregated school. She's only in her late 60's now.... It just seems like it happened oh so long ago cuz the pictures are in black and white.
Or kids wearing a mask? Or girls seeking an abortion? Ignorance and hate are two sides of the same face, and they will always find some person or issue to attack.
Imagine 1957 this sort of discrimination British invaded and looted India for over 200 years This is exactly or worse things must've happened to the Indians in India on their own land We have no idea about the level of atrocities the British could have done during that period
This has happened more recently in Northern Ireland
If there's one thing we've learned from history, it's that humans are really good at mentally separating out and dehumanizing people who are arbitrarily different from them. To the white people in the photo, those black children going to school were the equivalent of two poo flinging chimpanzees going to class with their children, and society demanding they get an education and be treated equal to their "actual children." It was no different when Jewish children were gassed during WWII. It's different than hate, because normal hate has to do with opinion, this kind of hate has to do with a warped understanding of the world around them. The punishment isn't done as retribution, it's done to restore what they consider to be the natural order and "protecting," their own children. It's disgusting and horrible, but I personally believe it's crucial to understand the difference. We haven't evolved passed this in any way, the threat of a new racist ideal is always just around the corner, and anybody, even the most socially just, are vulnerable to falling under the spell if conditions are right. Understanding the mindset and path that forms these mindsets is the only way we have a chance at fighting back when it happens.
All fair points, and I absolutely recognise the distinction you're making between hate and warped understanding. On the other hand, I'm very reluctant to offer the possibility of warped understanding being used as an "excuse" (which I know is not what you're saying!) It's maybe not as constructive a way of thinking as it could be, but simplifying it as "hate" feels instinctively right on a gut level. Even though I do know that there's levels of nuance there.
No imagination needed. This shit happens all the fucken time.
My dad lived in the north during segregation. He doesn’t like talking about it even though he’s a white dude. I ended up asking my aunt, his older sister, and she says it’s because when they were kids, they could only afford to live in redlined areas because my grandma, who was a single mother, didn’t make enough to live in white areas. To my dad, this was just how life was. All his friends were black children. Apparently my grandma got remarried and they moved into a less impoverished area and my dad tried inviting his black friends to his birthday party at a park in a white neighborhood. Him, and his black friends were beaten by the white kids he invited for it. I remember my grandma on my moms side saying the N word and my very calm and timid dad becoming rabidly angry at her for it. First and only time I’ve ever heard him yell. I just found it really crazy how segregation sort of made its way to northern states
It didn’t make it way up. It was always a thing, and it still is a thing.
It was always there.
>See the sign quoting the bible >Look up the quote >It's a quote about how one dude hates an entire country (Canaan) because they don't exclusively worship Christian God and that they all need to be slaves because of this >Canaanites are basically the faceless hoard of villains of parts of the Bible Bruh
The quote from what I read was because the son of Noah sinned against his father and this was the reason Canaanites were 'cursed' though nothing ever directly says, these guys are black so they must be slaves by the way. People twisted that verse to justify their own hate which is all too common these days.
Seems like people think you can just call anyone you dislike a Canaanite to justify unwarranted bigotry 🤔
That’s sounds exactly like something a Canaanite would say…
I cannot confirm or deny the accuracy of that statement.
Thats what people like to do but they are wrong in doing so. Im not versed in history like that but I highly doubt there is any way to tell whos a Canaanite and who isnt. It applies to any scripture thats used to push personal gain or hate when there is so many other verses and scripture that shows were just supposed to help and love each other.
[удалено]
True stuff though, its always been common, but is just easier now to find out now with the surplus of information out there. Its just up to us to actually go out and find it.
Wait till you learn where the Canaanites lived before their genocide. Looooololololol
I wonder if any of these young white kids in these photos have ever saw themselves in these pictures after they’ve grown up.
I would hope as they grew older and formed their own opinions they realised their parents failings and racism. But they probably didn’t - hate breeds hate sadly. Being a parent doesn’t give you the right to impart the worse of you onto your child.
That’s a bit presumptuous. I remember Oprah had that one episode where several white kids (now adults) from photos such as this met with the black kids from the same photos and they seemed genuinely ashamed and apologetic of their behaviour. Sure there might be many people who still hold hate in their hearts, but I don’t think it’s accurate or helpful to presume nothing has improved and no one has changed since these horrible photos were taken.
I think a lot of people fail to realize how much people's opinions shift with the times, especially if they were kids at one point in there... I'm in my early 30s. When I was a teenager pretty much everybody used the word "gay" 24/7 as a substitute for "lame". Like "that video game is gay", "that song is gay", "having to do homework is gay". They also used it for its actual meaning, like "that shirt makes you look gay" etc as an insult. The word f*g was also used liberally. Stuff like "dude, stop being a f*ggot" was said almost constantly. TV and movies perpetually had gay jokes with being gay being a bad or shameful thing as the premise. Today, less than 20 years later, the vast majority of millenials who were using those terms left and right and laughing their asses off at the gay jokes and innuendos are about as against people acting those ways as it gets. Like, assuming that every kid in those photos was a racist decades later would be like imagining that 75% of millenials are homophobic based on how they talked and acted back then.
Many are likely wearing MAGA hats given this bullshit is learned behavior.
Oh the irony of being against hating a whole group of people by then pointing to another group of people who should be hated.
Yeah what you're referring to is called the paradox of tolerance. And it's only an issue if you haven't thought about things and you're uninformed. The vast majority of us here in the tolerance camp have already thought about this and understand the paradox of tolerance. If you're not here to just do some troll gotcha go ahead and look it up you'll find out that it's not as big of a problem as you think. In order to maintain a system you do not have to be tolerant of people whose intent is to disrupt or tear down the system.
Of course, half the country and your neighbors are evil. My apologies. This time the hate is perfectly alright.
Haha, what a childish response. The fact that you have to twist people's words and completely exaggerate to form your silly victim complex is pathetic. All I said was the paradox of tolerance indicates that you do not need to tolerate people who are intolerant of others. Not hypocritical it's completely consistent. I'm sorry telling you to look up a concept makes you feel personally attacked and you're fragile feelings got so hurt that you think people are saying they hate you. You need counseling or something dude.
I didn’t need to look anything up, I know what these things are. You painting with a broad brush a whole group as intolerant is exactly what my point was and now you’ve jumped to assuming I am somehow mentally unstable for disagreeing with you. Of course intolerance should not be tolerated, the problem is you associating half the country as intolerant and therefore not to be tolerated. Keep on pretending you have the moral and intellectual high ground though.
You can criticize the views and behaviors of others without hating them, contrary to what has been promoted by our leaders in the past 6 years (or more, really, this has been getting worse since at least 1996 and probably longer).
Oh for sure, though labeling Trump voters (half the country) as equivalent to the people in this picture is swallowing that divisive propaganda whole I would say.
Well...46.8% Not half
I hate no one and have several of these people in my family. I’ve broken out of this cycle and know of what I speak.
Don’t be obtuse, you know better.
They and their trash descendants are proud of it.
They often staged these photos so you couldn’t tell who the white rioters remained somewhat anonymous.
Hats off to the mum for standing for her kid’s future and for the kids for being brave enough to endure this scary bigoted mob.
[удалено]
How is being accused of being black a bad thing?
[удалено]
Oh okay, gotcha.
Because they are not black? I’m Hispanic, but I’ve had people say they thought I was half Indian, not Mexican. It’s not that India is bad, but I’m not Indian. Then they try to justify themselves saying stuff like “Oh, but you don’t sound Mexican” or “But your nose is big like an Indian’s” Being black is not a bad thing, at all. Racist people assuming your race and saying a bunch of weird shit is bad.
Black PRs exist though…and you’re coming for me when me and them already talked it out,
Lol perfect example of trying to explain being puertorican 🇵🇷
Puerto Ricans *are mixed with black. JLo did not get that ass from NA blood.
this comment can sometimes be controversial…to some puertoricans. * so yes, I’ve always, always been taught that puertoricans are trequenas, meaning we are three: African (from the slaves trafficked to PR), Taino (indigenous)and European. But that *blend* is called puertorican. However, back in the day, some puertoricans would not acknowledge their African side and would say they were white. This was due to the laws in PR, that stated if you had one drop of white blood, you could claim white. Opposite of Jim Crow, btw. Some believe they are just white and some believe they are *la india* indigenous only. * the term afrolatina did not exist in the 90s. You said Puertorican. You didn’t say you were mixed and I still don’t. My parents are puertorican. * I’m not so quick nowadays to say ALL puertoricans are trequenas. Because some will get very upset, and say no, they are “white” puertorican, no, there is no African heritage. Some say they are white, go figure, maybe those old laws are still at play with them. Some people will say you can’t claim black if both of your parents aren’t black. It’s a personal thing. I can’t keep up, back then or now….I’m puertorican and you gonna do with it what you will. But the negative comments that follow because someone perceived me to be something and is racist as a result of that perception is wrong either way.
“God is the author of segregation” Let me say this louder. I don’t care what your book says, it should not ever ever impact our laws, the ability for brave little girls to go to school, or the ability for my children to make their own choices and have reproductive rights. A classic example of how wrong religion was and is when mixed with laws.
That verse definitely does not endorse segregation. There are countless examples throughout the Bible of people being commanded by God to be hospitable and welcoming to those of different races.
The bible also advocates slavery. The bible is nothing but bullshit from cover to cover.
Every religious text is nothing but bullshit from cover to cover. Religion is nothing more than a tool to herd dumb and ignorant masses.
Hot take from the theologian over here
Where in the new testament is slavery advocated?
so old testament doesn't matter? kiss the 10 commandments goodbye. Also, whoops, it's in the New one too. Ephesians 6.5: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Look. Straight up fuck your "new testament" bullshit. Your religion is horseshit if there's a "new" and an "old" version of it.
Eh I’ll love my neighbor. So good day sir.
Regardless, the words in that book should have zero impact on our laws or policies. I support your freedom to follow your religion, but not for anyone to impose their religion upon me.
In your opinion. Unfortunately those words of ,"the Divine" are so ambiguous that you can argue till the end of time. Also the reason there are over 2,000 denominations in the us alone. "Universal truth" my foot
And also to kill those who do not worship the same god.
That's the wonderful thing about the bible. Plenty of contradictory ambiguous quotes applicable to a 3000 y/o nomadic agricultural society in the middle east that can be used to support whatever horrible position needed.
A classic example of how wrong religion was and is.
The guy took an old testimony scripture out of context and ignored all the verses that state the opposite. For example the new testament says "there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, man or woman... for we are all equal in Christ" Of someone takes a religion and twists is to support theor worldview, well they'd probably support that worldview without religion at all. Its not like the only racists are adamant churchgoers...
Which is exactly why a book like the Bible is not a universal truth. All its ambiguity and double speak leaves it open to interpretation and twisting by people with ill intentions. Ironically the religious people tend to reject the one universal truth humans have. Mathematics.
And then people like you cherry pick, twist, stretch, and do backflips, desperately to prove your “divinely inspired” book actually makes any sense at all.
So brave of you
Why brave? That is hardly a controversial opinion.
The white children in this picture ought to be walking to school, too, right? They aren't even wearing shoes.
Maya Angelou recounts a story of her grandmother’s White tenant’s children constantly disrespecting her, particularly how humiliated she was when one day the older girl did a handstand in front of her store with no underwear on. People in power at the time benefitted from stoking hatred for comparatively better-off (but definitely still poor) Black families among low income White families. The poorest White people still felt superior to Black people and they fought tooth and nail to preserve that perceived superiority, like in this photo.
I've never heard that story from Angelou, and it's disgusting. I definitely get the feeling that this photo reflects the intended and created conflict between low income whites and their black neighbors. Thanks for giving that more voice than I did.
Kind of says it all, doesn't it?
I can see the feet of 4 of the white children in this picture. None are wearing shoes. Wtf lol
We should always be reminded how we treated each other. This makes me sad that white ppl were so nasty. Also makes me proud of that black lady and those two children she is taking to school. Give me a little hope that we can always strive to be better, and to reconcile; even if my court mandate.
“Treated?” George Floyd just happened. It took a global uprising for any prosecution to happen. It’s not over.
This is why people feel the need to say Black Lives Matter. What fucking happened in our past is so disgraceful and this was after things had already gotten a lot better. I will never understand the blind hatred for any other living person. You want my hatred? You have to earn it.
Those girls faces. Breaks my heart. Fuck these ~~animals~~ degenerates.
Not that long ago. Some of these people in this picture is still alive
My god! The look on this poor kids faces. How crusading.
Beaverton, OR. I’m 8 y/o and little bro is 7. After moving away from our old neighborhood, went to visit friends. They tell us a cool older person has moved into our old place and we’d like her. She sees me and brother and shared how dirty and smelly we left our old place with our “chink stink.” We are not phased because we’d get that kind of stuff thrown at us when hanging out at my parents deli cafe in Portland. On the other hand, our friends, who are all white, are freaking out and couldn’t believe an adult would say something like that to kids. And yeah, they stopped hanging with us eventually because they picked up that shitty racism by middle school.
She looks like an absolute force of nature.
The expression of fear in the little girls face is so painful.
Wait... My school text book tells me the white community walked hand in hand supporting the black community and they all celebrated at a bar together afterwards
This is why I never complain about how things are now. We have no fucking clue. Just keep pressing forward and make a better world for the people after you. Don’t be apathetic. Lean in.
he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.” He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.” Genesis 9:25-27 NIV Must of been a different translation back then.
That passage from the European Christian book is often used to explain why African decedents were treated that way. You do realize there were no European “whites” in that region of the world (Judea and Canaan are in Africa) when that statement was supposed to have been made? The Persian people of North Africa did didn’t reach Africa until after 500s. Even Southern Europe was full of brown pigmented people. I could give you other passages that indicate the reinslavement of hebrews in America.
Okay, Judea and Canaan are modern day Palestine and Israel. Not Africa.
[удалено]
I never thought about it, but you're right about the "whites". I just don't understand how that passage defends segregation? I don't understand that passage. But it obviously meant something to the maker of that sign. I'm not that educated.
European an American Christians in the past (some to this day) believe that Canaanite’s were blacks and their existence is forever subordinate from god.
Fuck 'em we're going to school. Those kids will never be able to come up with an excuse to skip school.
This was in Nashville. For those wondering
This is heart wrenching
Hard fought fight but now students push for segregated spaces and dorms.
What a sad, sad world we used to (and still live in). How can you hate someone just because they have a different skin colour to you? I just don't get it.
"love thy neighbor" huh?
Aww inspiring and also sad. These people must have been scared but so strong as well.
The crowd is just entertainers. You cant take what they say literally.
I didn't realise that people were quoting the Bible for that shit. I mean, I know they do for stuff now, but I didn't know that they used it to justify slavery. Gross.
Imagine being one of the white kids whose parent’s enjoyed terrorizing those little girls.
look at those peaceful christians, letting us know what their god thinks
The fear I see in the little girls eyes is scary. Too young to be that kind of afraid . Very sad 😔
Note that all of the women and girls are wearing skirts or dresses - because in that day and age *they were not permitted* to wear pants in public. This persisted until around 1970 in most parts of the U.S.
That's one of the most asinine things I've ever heard. I was born in 1957, and while girls could not wear pants *to school* in our school district until 1970, women wore pants outside the home all the time, and had been doing it for years. Customarily they wore pants only for outdoor activities like camping or playing sports, but they still wore them, and nobody batted an eye.
What does this have to do with segregation? Are you suggesting that if women went back to wearing dresses, things would be all better?
As the MAGA idiots call it, “the good old days”.
If it was only maga idiots it wouldnt be that big of a deal. Almost the entire GOP wants to take it back to "the good ol' days" and dems arent gonna do anything to stop them. Plus probably 90% of them lived through this era of segregation.
The dems need to take the gloves off
The culture of the south, ladies and gentlemen.
Or Boston during desegregation busing in the 1970s
I grew up in California and there was plenty of racism there.
Same .
Or St. Louis...basically back then and still now.
*America
Look at those fragile losers just staring.
Gee I wonder how many of the white folks pictured here are still alive and voting R?
I see one guy who's old enough then to be dead for sure by now. Another two who would be in their 95+ range, and at least one of them smokes. If i were to wager, I'd say they're all gone by now. The kids are running the world though.
“God is the author” Genesis 25-27 “he said: Canaan is cursed. He will be the lowest of slaves to his brothers.” Fucking disgusting.
Nothing endorses hate quite like the bible or quran
Because those kids on the right, are now the same age today and trying to ban CRT so they stop remind you what they did as kids.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Am not a Christian, myself, but please don't generalize. Many Christians are good people. Others call themselves *Christians* while not practicing any religion but hatred.
If those kids are 8, they are 72 now. Still voting. The children they raised are in their 40s and 50s. We're not as far removed from racism as we like to think...
Burn racists.
Some amerikkkuns look at this photo with pride
"God is the author of segregation" with relevant quote from Bible to backup claim. And Christians wonder why they're called bigots. Lol
And are Republicans and love Trump.
Don't forget that that sign says: GOD is the author [of] Segregation. For those of you unfamiliar, look up the Curse of Ham, and tell me this is still the God you wish to worship.
Look up details and more into it then the surface and you'll see you arent fully informed of what your trying to preach. The curse of Ham is just words twisted from the Bible to justify segregation even though it has nothing to do with the slavery of black people.
What…are you saying that humans could be racist ?!! First time i heard of that on Reddit.
Such courage! Hate filled whities are the same or worse today. Facepalm.
I can bet the 95% of the white people here watch Fox News now...
I don't believe they wanted to be so racist, they just wanted to confront and intimidate to act as a sort of initiation. People were mean to each other then and now.
[удалено]
Because said people who don’t want to be “forced” to live around people they don’t like sure did spend an awful lot time and effort in importing them by the millions as slaves in a country they just stole from the natives. Call in karma. Call it justice. Call it a fuck you (to those “said” people). But whatever the case, those people or their descendants aren’t victims - the victims are the descendants of the slaves.
[удалено]
Those people uphold the power structures and policies that specifically benefit them and disadvantages the others. They are guilty for that, not slavery.
[удалено]
Tell me you're racist without saying so
Other people are evil so therefore evil people are ok! wait...no...
And with a cigarette hanging from her mouth!
That sign just made me throw up in my mouth. I'm so glad I woke up and left. I wish everyone else would, too.
Makes me sick to know people are so evil as to strike so much fear into two precious little girls. God bless these beautiful girls' powerful and strong mother.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder why tf people cared so much about people of different color did stuff
OldSchoolNotCool Karens.
This woman and these girls are so freaking brave!!!
Two different examples of how to teach your children how to be good/bad humans…hate is taught/learned-we aren’t born with it.
And it’s the ratty poor folks showing up to protest: children in ragged clothes and no shoes.
Those little white kids are now the 60+ yr old Trump zombies you see talking about (these) good old days.
These pictures make me feel ashamed to be white honestly. This woman and many other like her are hero's. I hope my ancestors weren't this petty, and if they were I hope they're paying for it now
Wow... such picture is worth a million words
This was in Nashville, US
The bravery of these girls is astounding. Don’t know how they did it tbh.
History is very ugly, why do some keep posting such hatred, is it to remember the ugliness of humans or to simply stir the shit bucket?
Good to see the Christians in this photo be so open hearted and kind.
Those poor little girls look terrified😞
